Além dos gramados

Abstract

“Além dos Gramados” is an audio production that proposes to tell the challenge of black people for space at the top of football, a sport that emerged in Brazil from an elitist and white vision, allowing, at the time, only people who had with goods, thus excluded as minorities that perpetuated in Brazilian society. In this context, football practice tends to be an environment, as well as in large companies, universities, as a space for the exclusion of black men and women in positions, thus, facing a supposed discriminatory meritocracy constitutes in the social fabric, a watershed that delimits spaces where blacks can or cannot enter. Shedding light on this little tolerant gap, claims what is right from the point of view of historical respect and visibility of the black presence and makes one understand the meaning of racial equality, especially in sport.
